Possible material options

In the product dropdown selection you can choose the size and material of your choice. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:

  • The canvas print: A printed canvas material applied on a wooden stretcher frame. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight, which means that it is easy and straightforward to hang up your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Therefore, a canvas print is suitable for any kind of wall.
  • Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, often denoted as a UV print on plexiglass, transforms the artwork into amazing wall décor. The work of art is printed with state-of-the-art UV printing machines. With a glossy acrylic glass fine art print contrasts and smaller details become exposed with the help of the granular gradation in the picture.
  • Metal (aluminium dibond print): Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with an impressive effect of depth - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is the best start to fine prints with aluminum.
  • The poster print (canvas material): A poster is a printed cotton canvas with a fine surface texture. It is designed for putting the art print with the help of a custom-made frame.

Original information about the work of art by the museum (© Copyright - The J. Paul Getty Museum - The J. Paul Getty Museum)

An old woman sits alone with a cat in front of a rough wall. Her head bowed to the side and her large coarse hands gently embracing the cat emphasize the emotional bond between the woman and her pet. Through such gestures, Max Liebermann filled the subject with his own understated and affecting humanity. He depicted the woman in bright light and wearing a richly colored skirt, thus omitting obvious signs of poverty and avoiding an unnecessary display of sentimentality.

Influenced by the Dutch Masters of the 1600s, Liebermann became fascinated with themes that concerned contemplative states. He also absorbed the lessons of French painters; his richly worked execution of this painting reflects the painterly style he learned in Paris in the 1870s. The Old Woman with Cat was painted in 1878 in Venice, where Liebermann went to recuperate after breaking his leg. He captured that city's famous golden light to harmonize the rich and disparate colors and textures of the woman and the setting.
